Teen Stories: Addiction and the Journey to Recovery


Episode 1212


Self-medicating seems increasingly common in today's teenagers — but experimenting with drugs as an "escape" can quickly turn into a dependency on them. In today's show, Mark chats with two teens from Heartlight who reflect on their early exposure to drugs and alcohol, and how they quickly fell into a downward spiral. Seventeen-year-old Gabe opens up about his battles with substance abuse, legal troubles and the strained family relationships that landed him at Heartlight. Listen in!
